If so, what did you think about it? I was there (Go Rangers!), and I thought it was awesome. I seriously hope it will energize them to keep on winning.

Yeah, it was a great game - a fight, a grand slam, AND the Rangers won.

It's not about how "brave" the two ballplayers are. It's about showing support for your teammates. Those guys remember who comes out of the dugout and who stays. Also I think the majority of them don't even throw punches - they're there more or less to regulate and do some crowd control.

Glad to see another Rangers fan. So do you think they'll suspend Showalter too?

I enjoyed it. I haven't enjoyed a Rangers game so much since we threw some chairs at some stupid Oakland fans! I thought it was warranted, it all goes back to the game where Adam Eaton got thrown out of the game in the 1st for throwing 1 pitch behind Rivera ( it was like a Saturday day game in Anaheim ) and I thought when they threw at Kinsler and hit Michael Young it was over but when Donnely hit the next guy that was too much and deserved a pay back pitch and the brawl followed. It doesn't mean anything if we can't beat the A's but it was a highlight.
PS.....Red Sox and Yankees fight - Media says " another chapter in the greatest rivalry in sports "
Rangers and Angels fight - Media says " classless players that need to be suspended, there is no place in baseball for that "
ironic.

It was great to see the Rangers take out some aggression, and the best thing about it is that the Angels are going to be hurt by the suspensions a lot more than the Rangers. Vicente Padilla will probably miss a start because of the stuff he did on Tuesday, but that can be resolved by juggling the rotation, and Scott Feldman will probably get some type of suspension too, but he's been bouncing between the Rangers and AAA all season, so his suspension won't mean too much... The Angels are most likely going to lose Adam Kennedy, Kevin Gregg and Brendan Donnelly for several games, and they're all players the Angels rely on regularly... GO RANGERS!!!

Yeah, so? In baseball brawls it's always classic as when the guy charges the mound he knows his entire team will charge out. They need to just let the two guys go at it like in hockey...then we'll see how "brave" ballplayers are.
Throwing inside is good pitching. Throwing at batters is gutless. Charging the mound is just lame.

It was about time the Angels retaliated. It's been brewing for a while. I guess the Rangers were getting a little tired of being Vlad's bit@#.
Can't wait to see tonite's game.

First of all, the Rangers are left for dead at 6.5 games out.
However, we all learned that Adam Kennedy can't throw a punch.

Ya, its so funny to see their crappy punches. Did anyone see the classic one where the batter kicks the catcher in the throat and then tackles the pitcher? Totally awesome.

that was sooo funny as soon as the pitcher threw the pitch he took off his glove and was ready to fight but yeah Kennedy cant really fight . i guess that's why he plays baseball.
